This does look interesting. The two meds I am taking with my insurance are less than the price shown on this site but I would definitely consider this in the furure.

Does not disclose the manufacturer on the product pages. Consumers need the ability to shop around based on the reputation of the manufacturer not just price. Definitely seems cheaper than goodrx but if you are only getting one prescription with shipping the price is pretty close.

Found 90 days supply Atorvastatin 80 mg for $8.50.
Great deal for those that take 40mg and own a splitter.

Quote from Aogen :
Prescription required
Is that somehow surprising? Literally every pharmacy in the country requires a prescription.

That's a VERY interesting point. I take a specific medication for my ADHD and, I know I'm not alone in this, some manufacturer's generics of that medication are absolutely awful. Just abysmal performance compared to the name brand. So for my purposes, the company that manufactured the generic would be important info to have. I'll look into this more deeply.

BTW Thanks OP, didn't know about this.

Currently helping my dad in paying 1,000 dollars a month for medicine to treat pulmonary embolism. There is one medicine for four dollars here I know will work, but he needs weekly bloodwork. Another for 5 that may work without. I'm going to speak to his doctor Monday. If there's a chance we can spend 60 dollars (with shipping) for a 6 month treatment compared to just under 6,000 this might be the best deal I ever find.

As always, shop around and don't assume someplace is cheaper just because.

For example I take allopurinol and the mail order through my insurance (ingeniorx) is slightly cheaper than this website. Plus ingeniorx ships for free and it seems this website charges $5.

DW takes levothyroxine which is $5.28 at CVS (it's cheaper by mail order but long story as to why we don't bother with it) and this site is $4.20 plus $5 shipping.


Amazon also has a pharmacy but it's also more expensive than ingeniorx.

Lastly, if you use this site you are expressly not using your deductible. That might not make a difference for some or even most people, but could be a consideration if you're the type that flirts with your deductible every year.
